If your doctor has told you that you need to Lower Your blood Sugar, Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar May help.
Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) affects approximately 13% of adults, with another 34.5% being diagnosed with prediabetes. Early detection is critical to minimize the complications of elevated blood sugars and prevent the progression of type 2 diabetes and other associated chronic diseases. Postprandial hyperglycemia is characterized by a rapid and significant increase in blood glucose following a meal and often precedes fasting hyperglycemia. Postprandial hyperglycemia is considered an early risk factor for T2D and cardiovascular disease development.
Many strategies are aimed at helping control blood glucose levels, including diet and exercise, lifestyle modifications, and pharmacological options. The pharmacological option can be effective but comes with many side effects, such as gastrointestinal upset, edema, and potential weight gain, along with the monetary costs associated with these treatments. Therefore, there is a demand for safe, affordable, and efficacious alternatives to help manage glucose levels before they become unmanageable.
Vinegar consumption at mealtimes has been shown to help prevent postprandial hyperglycemia in healthy populations and those with glucose impairment. Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a common type of vinegar produced by fermenting apples. While acetic acid is the main active component in Apple Cider Vinegar, there are also several flavonoids, such as catechin and ferulic, caffeic and gallic acids, that have been shown to improve glucose metabolism, which may act synergistically with acetic acid to support glycemic control.
This study aims to determine whether a single dose of Apple Cider vinegar will have a postprandial glucose effect on those with metabolic syndrome after eating a standardized carbohydrate load.
Participants will be compensated $400 for their time.
